Double Double Toil and Trouble
Prologue
Bobby Pendragon had never planned on chasing after a cold-blooded demon across the galaxy, but when his uncle said he needed Bobby's help, Bobby just went with him. Seemed like a major mistake now that he had seen what Saint Dane could do. Saint Dane. He was the cause of all this pain and suffering that territories became inflicted with, that demon would stop it nothing to destroy the known world. "And the only people standing in his way are us' Bobby thought 'It must be nice to be so innocent and oblivious like all the kids at school."
Bobby sighed and examined his ring, the stone gleamed in the sunlight, encircling the stone was a line of symbols; though Bobby couldn't read any of them he knew they were important. Just then his ring began to glow, he looked around, the Zadda buildings and streets were abandoned, at least for the moment. Bobby felt his body being pulled towards an unseen force and in a flash of light he was gone. His yell of surprise echoed dully as he floated around a mirrored tunnel, all around him objects floated; a rocking chair, a bowl of fruit, a grandfather clock, and many other odd pieces. Having no idea what had brought him here or why he had been summoned Bobby floated downward towards a glowing light.
The light blinded him for a few minutes, and a loud throbbing noise filled his ears, he blinked and found himself face to face with a girl. She was floating as well, her long platinum blond hair shimmered, and her ocean blue eyes glowed as she floated past him. Bobby looked around and realized that they were trapped in a huge sphere of water, several other teens raced along the sphere chasing something Bobby couldn't make out. Several; including the girl he had bumped in to, wore a black and silver suit, similar to those from Coral, while the others wore red and gray.
Bobby stared in amazement as he drifted towards the side of the sphere; outside the water thousands of people were cheering and shouting, Bobby turned in time to catch a ball straight in the gut. He grasped the ball, and reeled backwards out of the water. All around him the pounding noise of fans cheering drowned out any thoughts he had. The girl he had met leapt out of the water and waved to Bobby, he threw the ball to her and she dove back into the water. He followed close behind, she swam faster than he did so he only caught glimpses of what she was doing, she held the ball tightly and dodged the opponents rather skillfully, finally she threw the ball towards a glowing ring, a loud chime went off and she pumped her fists.
She swam back to Bobby and grabbed his hand, toeing him up towards the surface she was greeted by her teammates. They all leapt out of the water and landed on a platform close to the sphere. Bobby was shocked to see two round rings rotating around the sphere, aping it with some sort of lightening. The opponents waved from across the water and bent their heads; the girl mimed holding a ball and bowed her head, as did he teammates. Bobby stood there stupefied and in awe of what was around him, the platforms began to descend, and he was incased in darkness.
Down in what appeared to be a locker room, the girl dragged Bobby towards a corner, "What are you doing her and why did you interrupt our speed-ball game?' she whisper softly ' Pendragon you are suppose to be in Zadda helping Loor, not on Jssola." Bobby stared at the girl and then noticed a small silver ring gleaming from a cord around her neck. "Who are you?" He asked a little too loudly, several people turned and stared. The girl smiled at them and waved and they went back to whatever they were doing, "I'm Aura" she whispered softly. Bobby stared at her, "How do you know my name?" he asked rather shaken.
Aura sighed, "You're the leader of the Travelers remember, everyone knows you. The question I want to know is why are you here? Saint Dane has not come to this territory and you are not needed yet." Bobby nodded and explained how he had come to be in this world, Aura's face grew dark as he spoke of the mirrored tunnel. She cheered up as a boy walked over; his black hair and intense blue eyes were filled with compassion as he spoke with Aura. She whispered some stuff to him, and he looked Bobby up and down; with mild distaste, she punched him roughly in the shoulder and told him to behave, "He's the Leader, you should show him a little respect here and there. Especially after what just happen Rowan."
Rowan smiled and held up his hands as if surrendering, "All right, just be careful. I'll see you later Lone Wolf." Aura smiled and gave him a shove, Rowan ran off laughing. Bobby stared after him, was he to be trusted? Could he be a Traveler too? He turned to Aura, she motioned for him to come and together they walked off down a road.
